Hi,
I use the following function in Word to return a variant array from Excel:
Function fcnExcelDataToArray(strWorkbook As String, _
Optional strRange As String = "Sheet1", _
Optional bIsSheet As Boolean = True, _
Optional bHeaderRow As Boolean = True) As Variant
Dim oRS As Object, oConn As Object
Dim lngRows As Long
Dim strHeaderYES_NO As String
strHeaderYES_NO = "YES"
If Not bHeaderRow Then strHeaderYES_NO = "NO"
If bIsSheet Then strRange = strRange & "$]" Else strRange = strRange & "]"
Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open ConnectionString:="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & strWorkbook & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=" & strHeaderYES_NO & """;"
Set oRS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
oRS.Open "SELECT * FROM [" & strRange, oConn, 2, 1
With oRS
.MoveLast
lngRows = .RecordCount
.MoveFirst
End With
fcnExcelDataToArray = oRS.GetRows(lngRows)
lbl_Exit:
If oRS.State = 1 Then oRS.Close
Set oRS = Nothing
If oConn.State = 1 Then oConn.Close
Set oConn = Nothing
Exit Function
End Function
For a particular project I need to get the Column Headings and all of the associated column values. I've noticed that when I have a situation where the heading is text but the column contents is currency, the function returns NULL as the column heading.

I know that I can just format by column D as General or Text and then "Price" will appear in the array, just wondering why it returns "Null" and if there is a way to have mixed format in the columns and still completely fill array (no Nulls). Thanks.
